Ho Chi Minh City is advancing large-scale digital and technological infrastructure projects, including a plan to develop 11 concentrated digital technology zones covering more than 1,200 hectares. This initiative focuses on critical sectors such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, green technology, and R&D, aiming to attract approximately 11,200 billion VND in investment and create a workforce of nearly 73,900 people. Initial infrastructure development will prioritize the Ho Chi Minh City and Tan Dinh digital technology zones. To support this ecosystem, the city is implementing new policies to attract and retain high-quality talent through flexible selection mechanisms, modern research environments, and professional autonomy. A proposed draft resolution may provide tuition support for students and trainees in key industries, such as AI, automation, and healthcare, provided they are local residents who commit to working within the city. Furthermore, the city is promoting the commercialization of scientific research through collaborative models between the state, academia, and businesses, highlighted by the Saigon AI Hub (SAIH), which provides mentorship to help research groups develop market-ready solutions. The Saigon Hi-Tech Park (SHTP) is also expanding, having completed the reclamation of 52 hectares of land previously occupied by stalled projects to establish a strategic technology center. SHTP is targeting production and export values of approximately $23 billion and $21 billion respectively by 2026. Additionally, a 200-hectare science park expansion project has been approved by the Prime Minister, with plans to continue reclaiming land to create infrastructure by 2028. The city is also expanding its industrial footprint, including the approval of a 700-hectare specialized mechanical industrial park with an estimated investment of over 75,000 billion VND. Recent developments include the implementation of strategies to commercialize scientific research following Resolution 57-NQ/TW.
